Correct answer

  • ALa parte superior del reposacabezas debe quedar entre la parte superior de la cabeza y la altura de los ojos.The top of the head restraint should be between the top of the head and eye level.
Explanation

The top edge of the head restraint should be between the top of the head and eye level, and as close to the head as possible. That way, in a rear-end collision, the head rests against it and whiplash is avoided; if it is too low, the head pivots over it.
